Inserting latest blog posts list in Adobe Muse

How can I insert a list of the latest blog posts when working from Adobe Muse? And is it possible to style the blog directly in Muse?
At the moment I have styled the blog in Dreamweaver and syncronized it with Business Catalyst, but I'm not going to update the pages in Dreamweaver, so I was hoping it is possible to use Adobe Muse for this purpose instead.
But the main thing is that I want my front page to display a list of the 3 latest blog post titles.

CMS features, including blogging, will not be part of the Muse 1.0 release. We intend to add CMS features to Muse in the future, that will work with Adobe's Business Catalyst platform. BC already has CMS features (see http://www.businesscatalyst.com/product-tour/overview for more info), but Muse isn't yet able to take advantage of them natively.
In the meantime, others have had success embedding blogs into their Muse sites. Take a look at the Jam Session Dani hosted for more info on this:

Having some issues tweaking the Blog Post List Layout to output to adobe Muse

Please see my question progression here from Muse side:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5109260
So basically, I have watched the videos on BC Gurus and have posed the question on modifying the blog module in muse to get output I want. when I use module {module_blogsitepost} it does not show all the information I want, but when I click a url to a blog post, it jumps to another page that shows the "BLOG TITLE", "BLOG DESCRIPTION", "RECENT POST", TAGS, and "ARCHIVE" which I think would be helpful on the main {module_blogsitepost} module.
So, i took the tags from the "OVERALL BLOG LIST MODULE" which does have that information and pasted into the module {module_blogsitepost} which in BC under modules is Blog Post List Layout. However the output just turns to the image below:
I really do not know what I am doing wrong, if anything at all. Is this a limit of the cooperation between adobe MUSE and BC? Should not make a difference if I am copying all the HTML and passing it into the HTML view of the Module I want. Why is there not a bracket { } module for "OVERALL BLOG LIST MODULE" on the http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/134/bc_1345.html ?
It is strange that there are modules in BC that do not show code strings to generate the output shown on this list? Is it because this capability is limited? It is strange. Please jump over to my site ( http://furnitureassemblyservice.com/blog.html ) to see what I mean. BTW, I added the Tags Module to the site so that at least shows.
One other question.. And maybe this is a Muse question, I try to add text or objects to the side of the blog entry but they are pushed to the bottom? Not sure if I need to add this into an object with the Module and mark it up in html with a table to make that work? I ask because I am trying to monitize the blog and add banners to the side or top.
Thank you for the time.

The recommended practice is to call preventDefault on the dragStart event.

Append to a Blog Posts List

I've noticed various ways to bulk-append to a List in SharePoint 2010 - some seemingly better than others - using Excel and Access. Do y'all suppose it's possible to bulk-append to a SharePoint Blog "Posts" list? There appear to be
some read-only columns that might make this difficult.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you need to import bulk
blogs into SharePoint blog site’s posts library .
For your issue, here is a blog import tool which is available for SharePoint 2010

For more information, you can have a look at the blog:

Blog Post List layout - images missing

My developer is saying that it is not possible to include post images in the blog post list layout.
Can you confirm if this is correct?
Here is my current blog post list layout http://www.onlineiq.biz/_blog/onlineiq_blog
and images only display when clicking on Post Detail view.
I know this can be acheived with web apps, but just needed to confirm that he is not missing something or that there is a trick we need to be aware of.
thanks
Ursh

Just add an image into the paragraph of text.
http://www.fueldesign.co.nz/_blog/Fuel_Design_Blog
I think what your developer is doing is using the tag for the layout to show a number of characters rather then the one to show the first paragraph. The latter will allow you to have html such as images but you need to ensure your first paragraph is short and sweet - and intro and the css styles for the image work.
But as you can see, it is defiantly possible.

How do i customize a drop down list in adobe muse without css?

I'm a complete noob when it comes to anything code. I tinker in design and ran into a bit of a snag. I'm involved in a start up and our coders apparently only know how to code software and back end stuff. I know it's probably not the best route to go, but i'm trying to use adobe muse to do the front end of my companies website that will have a few fields such as drop down lists and sign up forms, etc. Is there a way to customize the look of a drop down menu without using css? Or if i do need to use css how do i use it in muse? Really do appreciate any help you guys can provide!

You would need to know CSS. If you need to change Muse CSS you can use Firebug in Firefox to find the element ID. Then you would need to add your custom CSS to the head section in your page properties.

Blog Post List - same date posts under one date listing (javascript?)

Hello,
I have six blogs set up for a website. I have the blogs summaries appearing on the home page and in the individual blog index sections.
I would like all blog summaries (with the same date) to appear under one date entry and not repeat the same date for each item. Tech Support says this is possible with javascript (as is most things it seems), but I do not know javascript.
Please see example of Oct 15 on link below
Can anyone help me out with some code or other recommendation for this?

Just checking again to see if anyone has any ideas for my issue with blog post dates.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I don't claim to speak for Verizon, but I will attempt to answer your questions from my experience, and publicly available information.
1). The answer is a trial is sometimes available for FiOS, but probably not for DSL. You do have the option of a 2 year contract, a 1 year contract, or NO CONTRACT. You will pay more per month without a contract, but you can cancel at anytime if you don't have a contract. No contract=no termination fees.
2). There is no need to use ANY VERIZON supplied software. You DSL connection will work quite well without it, and many DSL customers have NO VERIZON supplied software on their systems.
3). There is no modem rental fee. If you have a 1 or 2 year contract a mode/router with WiFi is provided at no charge. Without a contract, you will probably have to buy either a modem or modem/router with WiFi.

Can I change the word "permalink" in "Blog Post List Layout"

What I actually am trying to achieve is a "read more" button that I can style.
The only tag I found is the {tag_permalink}. I can put this in a div for styling.
But it results in a button with the word "Permalink" which is confusing.
Now I am looking for a way to make BC print "Read more" instead.
Or did I miss a tag?
I found {tag_blogpostbodypreview,Text} this I can change to {tag_blogpostbodypreview,Read more} but, can I put a div in there?
Or, do you have another suggestion to create a standard read more button (automatically...)

IconItemRenderer doesn't have a generic spark layout like other spark containers. Instead it manually sizes and positions its elements for best performance.
If you want to customize how these elements are positioned you will want to subclass IconItemRenderer and override the measure() and layoutContents() methods.

Insert blog post by blogpost id

Hi everyone,
I'm using the following BC module tag to insert the latest blog post into an html element and have limited the output to 1:
{module_blogsitepost,1,}
This only allows for the latest post but I want to specify exactly which blog post I want to insert, ie. by its blog post id.
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to do this either with the above module tag or with another one?
Really appreciate any help.

While putting CSS into the body tag seems to work without issue I would prefer to put it into the head in its proper place.
I am using this Javascript to do that:
var ele = document.createElement("style");
ele.type = "text/css";
ele.innerHTML = "CSS CODE"; // Replace with CSS code.
document.head.appendChild(ele);
It works in all but IE8 and below (go figure). For IE8 I just left it in the body using IE conditional comments.
Now if only we could come up with a bit of sorcery for the meta tags!
kenneth_rapp said:
But every single bit of html and css and javascript rendered by our sites ought to be available to edit as we see fit, including what gets put out by the modules.
I could not agree more. While I can see restricting this to some level there is much more I wish we could have access to and edit.
Thanks for the Wizardly advice. =>

Show first paragraph of blog post using liquid

The legacy tag {tag_blogpostbodypreview,Text} allows to have a preview of the blog post. There is no similar possibility in the new liquid markup except for the | truncate filter. But this thing is very dangerous, for if you insert code which tags are then truncated before being closed it can detroy the whole layout of a page. Take a table for
example or an a-tag truncated right in the middle. How can I have only my first paragraph or a short teaser being shown in a blog post list? Any help would be appreciated!
P.S. in the liquid markup there is a | truncatewords filter, but this one seems to not be included to BC liquid yet?
Dennis

That is a bad idea because it will remove any images and formatting that you will want to keep from your content.
Original tags will and do still work in your layouts. If you want the preview of the first paragraph just still use the tag
There are several liquid filters not working in BC, not sure if they will be implemented at the moment. BC have been on the quite front as they have been doing the migration.

How to add a Facebook send button to blog post

I am not able to get the Facebook Send button to pull the blog post's unique url to share. It pulls the main blog url.
I added the Facebook plugin code to a content holder I created because I cannot find the container.html, so I decided to make my own Facebook module.
Then I pulled the module into my blog post list module. I want the share buttons to appear after each blog post.
What am I missing? What is the tag to pull the specific URL for the post to share it? Do I change the URL in the Facebook code: <div class="fb-share-button" data-href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/" data-layout="icon_link"></div> ?
I think this link pulls the button itself from Facebook?
When I call up my module in the blog list it looks like this:
<div id="SocialMediaShare">
{module_contentholder,3272408, url="{tag_blogposturl}"} 
</div>

thanks!

I don't have an answer for you, but I do have a question. You said the FB code works. What did you do? What did you put in your html page? I tried the FB code above and it gives me an ID error. Appreciate it if you can elaborate more. I just posted the ff in the forum "Customizing FB Share in Edge Animate"
Thank you!

Template breaks when viewing Blog Post Details Layout

I've made a new ECommerce site with my own template (HTML en CSS). On the Blog Post List is my new template. But when I click on the title or permalink, Then my template breaks and all I see is the text from my template and the blog post detail. What can I do?
Regards,
A.H. Bakker

Yes, just as I suspected. A lot of your CSS, JS and IMAGE assets are referenced incorrectly in your page template or page.
Right now, in your page template you are referecing IMG elements with a "relative URL":
<img src="images/myimage.jpg"/>
That will work fine on the homepage and first-level pages like "/" and "/blog" because the browser will attempt to load:
http://yoursite.com/images.myimage.jpg
But, if like on your blog detail pages which are located deeper in the websites folder structure "/blog/nog-maar-eentje" since this URL places you on the "nag-maareetje" page inside the "blog" folder, your relative URL will lead the browser to try and load
http://yoursite.com/blog/myimage.jpg
That is not the correct location for our images folder which is directory in the site's root folder. To avoid this issue, you need to update your references to all images that's SRC attribute start with "images/" and change it to a "site relative URL" simply by prepending a "/" at the beginnging of the SRC attribute:
<img src="/images/myimage.jpg"/>
You'lll need to replicate this process for your CSS and Javascript references too. CSS references will look like:
<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Becomes:
<link href="/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
And javascript:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lib.js"></script>
Becomes
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/lib.js"></script>
Anywhere that a reference to a javascript, stylesheet or image starts without a slash, "/" and just begins with the folder or asset ("images/...", "myimage.jpg") are relative URLs. You'll also see URLs that are absolute and those are URLs in your code that start with "http://yoursite.com" or "http://yoursite.businesscatalyst.com". Those you don't have to worry about since they are absolute and won't get mucked up when you are trying to load those from page within your site.
After you edit your page templates you might need to fix the same problem in your pages that are in a subfolder of your site.

Blog post at SP home page

I need to create blog post at SP 2013 home page. with this pic. should appear permanently and right of the pic post text detail should be there. Wheneven new post created it should update with new post and picture at left should remain same.
is there a way to achieve this.
If we can implement it through any webpart which one is that.
Thanks in adv !!

One way you can achieve this is using the Content by Query Web Part and custom XSLT for the web part. Go through the couple of examples below on how to roll up the blog post with custom XSLT. In your case you will be rolling up the one item i.e. the latest
blog post and then change the XSLT to display the image that you want to display with blog.
